    This mf can just get a job for herself but the rest of us academics have to work for sub minimum for ~8 years before we even have a shot at getting paid.

    Well the good news is that means it's less likely that she's going to throw her hat in the ring for 2024 after Biden wanders off lost somewhere and never comes back.

    She's not running 😔

    Okay but legit is she gonna be giving a semester of lectures? Is she gonna assigns homework and read and grade essays? Can I go to office hours? How do these celebrity teacher professor things work?

      I assume they give a lecture when they feel like it and everything else is handled by TAs.

          Sure, you're getting paid so poorly that you qualify for government assistance, but hey, you're making valuable connections that could get you a nice and cushy job eventually. I'm sure there are tons of people who would be unironically thrilled for the "opportunity." I assume the Clintons are good to their sycophants, but I'm not sure how I formed that opinion. Maybe you work for next-to-nothing and end up with no networking to show for it, but I doubt it.

            One of their only positive attributes is that they are fucking loyal to their people.

            David Axlerod didn't get invited to Obama's COVID birthday bash but Robbie Mook and Huma are still hanging around in Clinton circles.

              Today I am thankful that I have never gotten the opportunity to be a Clinton remora, because I'm not sure I'm principled enough to pass up on the security.

            Politics is like pro-sports. There are far more work horses and washouts than celebrities, but nobody spills much ink on them.

            The line to kiss Hillary's ass runs around the block. They aren't all getting in on the grift.

              Oh, I'm sure there's only so much room for the truly successful grifters, but I'm sure a letter of recommendation from her would open a lot of doors to jobs that are relatively well paid and secure.

                I mean... maybe? But I don't think you're going to get one just by kissing her ass for a semester. Its not like she's hosting an Office Hours every night and counting how many people show up.

                Far more likely, she's picking out the people in her class from the richest families and courting them. You're not going to be on her radar unless your last name is Walton or Hermès or Cargill.

    Having a hard time imagining her sitting around grading papers, but I assume she'll have an army of low paid grad students to do that for her.
